## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (3)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `observe_url`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Buy a timestamped FreshProof observation of a public HTTP/HTTPS URL. Returns final URL, observation timestamp, age, HTTP status, SHA-256 body hash, body size, ETag, Last-Modified, fetch duration, and whether the observation came from shared cache or a fresh public-network request. Set max_age=0 when a new public-network request is required. The response body itself is not returned.
```

### `verify_proof`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Verify an existing FreshProof Proof Receipt without making a new network request. This free tool checks deterministic receipt integrity and optionally evaluates trust policy rules. Use it when you already have a proof_id from observe_url or verify_url and want to re-check evidence without paying for another observation. The result includes valid, decision (PASS, FAIL, or UNKNOWN), per-rule checks, and the stored receipt.
```

### `verify_url`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Verify what is observable at a public URL before an agent trusts, pays, or acts. This paid tool combines observe_url and verify_proof in one call: it buys an observation, creates or returns a Proof Receipt, and evaluates the supplied trust policy. Set max_age=0 when current public-network evidence is required. The result contains both observation evidence and verification with decision PASS, FAIL, or UNKNOWN.
```

## Only reads (1)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `freshproof_info`

- The description's first verb is "describe": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Describe FreshProof, its observation semantics, current MCP price and payment network. This tool is free.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `freshproof`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__freshproof__freshproof_info"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__freshproof__verify_proof",
      "mcp__freshproof__observe_url",
      "mcp__freshproof__verify_url"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
